00:06:24
The victims of. That's

00:06:31
a graduate says the situation.
Is getting desperate there is
00:06:37

00:06:46
Opposition Coalition led by its
candidate. Says it welcomes a u.s.
00:06:51
Embassy statement calling on the electoral
commission to make public the results of
00:06:56
all polling stations particularly those
being contested by the opposition so as to
00:07:01
and short transparency in
00:07:02
a statement why. Vidia embassy
congratulated Italy's people for
00:07:06
a peaceful election the opposition says it
won the election although the electoral
00:07:11
commission declared president for
Nessie by the window Brigette are demo
00:07:15
spokesperson for opposition coalition County
the Kojo says the Us embassy statement
00:07:21
is good news because the opposition has
been demanding for results of all polling
00:07:25
stations to be published facts they
congratulated people vote they said
00:07:32
everybody went to vote painfully and
then they were printed from and
00:07:38
to ensure that the results have
already been published and
00:07:46
that's not contested by our job our country
did they are asking the government to
00:07:52
ensure that those results they
are. Each police station to ensure
00:07:58
transparency Finally Jim they regret
the fact that some feel so sorry
00:08:05
for the groups we chop
00:08:07
a lot of the variation of the elections
have been denied to be trying to
00:08:14
serve the cause of them and they
didn't send them that these groups are
00:08:21
supported by the n.t.s.b.
00:08:23
And then the government discovered
that the group supported by and and
00:08:30
said we do not give you the right
to observe them and this statement
00:08:36
regrets the physician from the gov
man whether some in our party this
00:08:43
statement it's quite good news for others
because our country did agree with me
00:08:50
had asked before for this
publication of the results for each
00:08:56
polling station in view of transparency
Yeah sure that the results.
00:09:03
That have been published today they go
to they don't come from we've worked
00:09:10
we have and according to what we've come
to our country that is the rhythm of the
00:09:16
election and we can see that that is the
elected president of cocoa do you think
00:09:23
the government is going
to do what the u.s.
00:09:24
Embassies are asking for and what if the
government doesn't because the government
00:09:28
set the precedent for not simply
one day Lexa by 72 percent each
00:09:33
a lie they come needs on winning the
election in Egypt 2 percent because
00:09:40
in large majority of the goalie's people
do not want for this government again we
00:09:47
want them to leave to power so they can't
vote for him and if the government
00:09:54
knows that what he published
is to talk to these events by
00:10:00
conforming to the recommendation to come
back it's very simply they said they want
00:10:06
to make it known that what they feared
is the truth now and they have melted
00:10:13
publish in detail the results and
everybody will see. Brigette is the
00:10:20
spokesperson for totally
civilization coalition candidate
00:10:23
a biomedical jewel she was speaking with
us from the capital loamy in Malawi the
00:10:28
leader of the opposition united
transformation movement u.t.m.
00:10:31
Party. Says he is willing to enter into an
alliance with anyone as long he and that
00:10:37
person a common colas This comes
00:10:41
a day after President Peter Reka and his
ruling progressive Democratic Party d.p.p.
00:10:47
Enter into an alliance with the United
Democratic Front if you do you have party
00:10:52
for the May 90 constitutional court ordered
presidential election there have been
00:10:57
room it's not the u.t.m.
00:10:58
And Congress party of last row Chuck
queerer have been holding talks for
00:11:03
a possible alliance u.t.m.
Spokesperson. Says the u.t.m.
00:11:09
Has formed it tough for us to engage the
mob with Congress party our president has
00:11:14
made it very clear that we need to listen
to the views of the people I think the
00:11:19
people out there in white will do
reconsider this but I think before we make
00:11:23
a decision we need to have
00:11:25
a far understanding of what he had alive
and then I would say when we need to
00:11:31
understand so that's why
we have formed a team like
00:11:36
a task force from our side that will change
our God the party in the well Congress
00:11:42
party to begin talking so how soon how
much time do you have before the people of
00:11:48
Malawi know that yes there's going to be
this alliance within my time considering
00:11:53
Betty I made it very very relieved
that for the Poles and the row we have
00:12:00
60 days before that for campaign which
means cabinet going to start on 28 is of
00:12:06
mites so we have like 2 from now so before
or during the period to go up that also
00:12:11
all the things that were given about how
to finalize before ready to write about.
00:12:18
I saw an article where
the president. He made
00:12:22
a comment to say he is going to
we now more than 50 plus one.
00:12:30
Is entitled to his opinion but I think he's
out of this place and I mean why did he
00:12:35
really has to press one of these folks
is election as. It is to. Say if any
00:12:42
that has anything to go 'd so how governor
is going to get this time. The person
00:12:48
that has to go to $200.00 in the hole
if you put I'm not going to believe in
00:12:55
40 percent are you talking to people in
and departed I have long used Yes his
00:13:02
theory. About 200000 votes
or 200004000 roughly or me.
00:13:10
There is no way they can get the 50 plus
ones one thing that I think has led to
00:13:15
downfall of coalition building Africa
has been the ability of one party to
00:13:22
give way to the other it
seems odd that whenever
00:13:24
a coalition be mentioned something one
of the parties want to insist to be
00:13:29
president edicts case do you think your
leader Mr to limit and tell Mr Quayle raw
00:13:35
can they reach
00:13:36
a compromise in terms of what can be on top
of the ticket that we all know that we
00:13:41
need that one of the issues that really it
is Elias is to not working the way that
00:13:46
I was to be but I think as you did what
we have said before we even start sharing
00:13:51
positions because this is such
00:13:53
a terrible position then you're going to
miss the whole point of what we're saying
00:13:56
is. Just what I was raised and find that
what is it that people want us to do if we
00:14:03
exhaust those issues really the issue is
over who's going to be number one who's
00:14:08
going to be number 2 I don't think that's
one of the issues. Just have to Dante
00:14:13
Malone guy is the spokesperson for the
United transformation movement party it led
00:14:18
by Vice President solace tell him you are
speaking with us from the capital long
00:14:23
way you're listening to daybreak Africa
on the Voice of America I'm James but in
00:14:27
Washington today is Thursday February
27th daybreak Africa Time 14 and
00:14:32
a half minutes past the hour Sudan's

Bashir and 3 others include genocide
00:14:50
and war crimes committed in Darfur after
Civil War broke out there in 2003 by

00:15:40
war that broke out in that for between the
Sudanese government and 3 rebel groups
00:15:43

genocide and war crimes charges in the 4
00:16:05
for the displaced like Isa seeing
Bashir on trial of the i.c.c.
00:16:09
Would bring some comfort to families like
his are and those. Things handed Bashir
00:16:16
to the International Criminal Court could
issue justice and also build confidence
00:16:20
between the warring groups in peace talks
the victims of genocide and historical
00:16:24
repression not to mention the refugees
and displaced people says Isa could feel
00:16:29
just as if Bashir goes on trial the i.c.c.

a hybrid court one of Bashir is lawyers in
00:16:59
a lab the Mohammad argues Sudan's court
should have jurisdiction and are qualified
00:17:03
to handle any case related to the.
For rather would have worked. I
00:17:10
would love if there was any accusations
against the former president he say's the
00:17:15
trial should be into then there was an
independent judicial system the elected
00:17:20
crimes in there for conflict including
genocide and war crimes are included in
00:17:24
Sudanese law says Mohammed binding Sudan
to the International Criminal Court is not
00:17:29
a legal issue but

a political one he ses and they were

bring the project in fact as we speak if

Ken rights groups have documented this
00:23:10

a quiet little of Kenyan rights groups

poor men and slums shot to death at
00:23:20
a suspicious circumstances running
00:23:22
a mouse it's on the border of Amnesty
International when we stop recognize. These
00:23:29
these these extrajudicial killings when
we say that nothing is changing and death
00:23:35
for we will not documented we
acquiesce. To these killings press
00:23:42
group accuse Kenya's independent policy
oversight authority of not doing enough to
00:23:46
stop the killings I posses 142 cases from
last Dia are under investigation but
00:23:53
admits only 6 police officers have been
sent to the public prosecutor who says few
00:23:58
witnesses are willing to come forward
noting hug is Kenya's Director of Public
00:24:04
Prosecutions we have community
outreach and yet reaching out to
00:24:08
a lot of these communities are being
affected by this problem trying to sensitize
00:24:12
them and trying to ask them to be more
bold in terms of giving us evidence we are
00:24:19
trying to. Make them.
Understand their rights.

to do more when I've done recently
00:24:46
there is no investigation there is no more
secure fashion and there is no justice
00:24:53
that's. 2nd killing and not killing
is thinking about suicide.
00:25:01
Suicide letter the victim's hope the u.n.
00:25:04
Envoy will help advance the
wheels of justice made

News. Economics graduate blessing she
remarked says the situation will hire
00:25:23
China which is the epicenter of the coronavirus
is getting desperate with prices of
00:25:29
basic commodities skyrocketing
and most students become
00:25:32
a destitute as their bank accounts are
running dry she remained graduate each
00:25:37
January and was due to return to
Zimbabwe before she was caught up in
00:25:42
a corona virus logged on to remote says she
and other Zimbabweans in China I appeal
00:25:48
into the Harare government for financial
assistance to buy food and other basic
00:25:54
necessities. The situation I
can say is really tough in
00:26:00
one not only as the students but for
also our fellows in Dublin who have been
00:26:06
working here in one they've been working
for themselves so that they can cater for
00:26:10
their food stuff and some other things but
you find out that now it's difficult for
00:26:16
them they're not waking they're not doing
anything and it's really difficult for
00:26:21
them to make ends meet it's really difficult
for them to get money to buy some food
00:26:26
stuffs and also food is now expensive
tickets through your day to day activities
00:26:32
What do you do daily since the
column of a that's was announced
00:26:37
a pandemic and also are you now allowed to
move freely and not even allowed to move
00:26:43
always in those isn't every day I woke
up. And them just in don't I don't go
00:26:49
anywhere the only thing I can do is to
be in here and you know because of this
00:26:55
situation you end up panicking you know and
it's so that the only thing you can do
00:27:01
is to just say he knows nothing else at the
moment how are the other 4 in that from
00:27:07
other African countries holding up how many
Zimbabweans would use the idea for the
00:27:13
remote when I can say maybe roughly 350
to 400 contending some other people
00:27:20
from some other countries I can say the
situation is just the same for us all but
00:27:26
for some other countries you can see
that they're receiving help from their
00:27:30
government and from maybe their fellow
countrymen I can think so if they have
00:27:37
such kind of help I can say we really
thank God for them because it's really
00:27:42
helpful but when it comes to
00:27:44
a situation like at the Zimbabweans you
can see that things are very talented
00:27:49
because right now I'm just surviving
receiving money from home and it was good
00:27:56
before it was. Good because before things
were really cheap like food but now you
00:28:02
find that food stuffs are very very expensive
so like it's really good if we can
00:28:09
really have help made from the government
or from some other fellow's mumblings.

Said that while there was ample reason to
be concerned about the coronavirus don't
00:30:23
rush to call it
00:30:24
a pandemic every day sensible measures
that we tell people to do every year with
00:30:29
the flu are important here covering your
cough. Staying home when you're sick
00:30:36
and washing your hands buzz after 19 years
of conflict in Afghanistan the war there
00:30:42
may be finally coming to an end

Dr Tadros added Nom Gregory
00:30:56
a cess said on Wednesday China reported
78 thousands 190 cases to the w.h.o.

with 43 deaths affecting

a total of 37 countries but Dr Tadros issued
this caution increasing cases outside
00:31:25
China has prompted some media
and politicians to push for
00:31:28
a pandemic to be declared he said that
would not be too eager to declare
00:31:34
a pandemic without careful and clear minded
analysis of the facts that has already
00:31:39
declared
00:31:40
a public health emergency of international
concern that's the highest level of
00:31:45
alarm they're there to tell us said using
the word pandemic carelessly has no
00:31:49
tangible benefits but it does have
significant risks in terms of amplifying
00:31:54
unnecessarily and unjustified fear and
stigma and paralyzing systems that the way
00:32:00
Joe will not hesitate to use the word
Pendennis. If it is accurate in description
00:32:04
of the situation go ahead sciences incorporated
on Wednesday said it had started to
00:32:10
late stage studies to test its drug
and patents with impatience with the
00:32:15
coronavirus beginning in March the studies
will test the drug approximately among
00:32:20
1000 patients at medical centers primarily
across Asian countries as well as in
00:32:25
other countries with high number of diagnosed
cases Dr Anthony Foushee the director
00:32:30
of the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases in the u.s.
00:32:34
Explained that even with trials
occurring now it could be
00:32:37
a year or more before they're ready
for consumers from a sequence of
00:32:43
a virus to
00:32:44
a trial it still would not be any applicable
to the epidemic. Unless we really
00:32:51
wait about a year to a year and
00:32:53
a half now that means 2 things one the
answer to containing is public health
00:33:00
measures we can't be law in a vaccine
over the next several months to
00:33:04
a year however if this virus which we
have every reason to believe it is quite
00:33:10
conceivable that it will
happen will go beyond just
00:33:14
a season and come back and recycle next
year if that's the case we hope to have
00:33:19
a vaccine us President Donald Trump spoke
Wednesday evening naming vice president
00:33:24
Mike Pence as the point person in his
administration for the covert 1000 outbreak
00:33:29
He also reiterated that far more people
die annually of the flu than have the of
00:33:34
the coronavirus thus far the Center for
Disease Control interventions and shook it
00:33:39
said the best way to guard against the
covert 19 is the same way one does against
00:33:44
the flu covering your cough. Staying
home when you're sick and washing your
00:33:50
hands. Tried and True not very
exciting measures but really important
00:33:57
ways that you can prevent the spread of
respiratory viruses and South Korea the
00:34:04
United States and the Republic of Korea the
South official name announced Thursday
00:34:09
they would postpone upcoming joint military
exercises until further notice do the
00:34:13
Cove in $1000.00 outbreak
00:34:15
a statement announcing the decision said
it was not made lightly and that their
00:34:19
alliance remains ironclad as
00:34:22
a novel coronavirus continues to spread
beyond China health officials in Europe are
00:34:26
ramping up efforts to contain the virus
and care for patients the European Union
00:34:30
Health Minister Stella cure Akitas and the
World Health Organization officials met
00:34:35
Wednesday with the Taliban officials in
Rome to discuss the outbreak in Italy the
00:34:39
worst so far in Europe earlier my
colleague Cape Town Dawson spoke with
00:34:43
a reporter Nicholas Benaud who's been
following the operate from Paris Well the
00:34:48
latest news from Iran. When the 2nd
person died last night and the most
00:34:55
concerning thing about this
patient who died is that he's
00:34:58
a patient is 60 he was 60 years old and
he did not travel to any zone that's
00:35:05
concerned by the virus did not travel
to China I did met Savile too easily so
00:35:10
French authorities they're trying to see
where he got contaminated and there's also
00:35:16
another patient he is stating is pretty
critical as of right now and again he did
00:35:21
not travel either to
00:35:24
a specific zone that was also
targeted by the virus Also today
00:35:29
a new route to Greece mention
his 1st Karimov iris a k.
00:35:34
And also we have at this now 12 deaths in
either league which is right now the most
00:35:41
concerning for you Rob. Now European
health ministers and other government
00:35:47
officials have been meeting in talking in
the past few days about the virus What
00:35:53
are they talking about what are they
saying you're right they met this week you
00:35:58
need only to try to see the level of threat
posing by these virus and it's really
00:36:05
it's interesting to note is that the
European Commission of full health and food
00:36:08
safety they like your kid is
she is this when they She's in
00:36:12
a room talking we've the health minister
to try to see you what's the situation
00:36:19
right now and she tweeted this Wednesday
that she has requested member states of
00:36:24
the European Union to review their
preparedness plans and help give capacity and
00:36:30
according to her it is crucial that they
all inform people about the level of
00:36:34
preparedness and it's key to mutual
security and we're getting hold of border.
00:36:41
European Union's right now they're not
going to close anything but people are
00:36:45
starting to being scared and there
it comes as of today you have
00:36:49
a big soccer game in yelling
French Roosters 3 No o.c.d.
00:36:55
In that you know young
people they don't want
00:36:56
a sense of you're going to have 3000 fans
traveling from you know elite and they
00:37:01
come from is fishery where there's
00:37:03
a virus so people are quite some sense
about what to do if they need to wear
00:37:07
a mask to be quarantined I'm not and the
people in Europe to trying to say that
00:37:12
they do not get the right information
about the virus so the concern with the
00:37:17
public is that they don't feel that they're
getting enough information from the
00:37:23
e.u.
00:37:23
Health experts. Exactly and also something
that's been mentioned right now you don't
00:37:29
have any travel ban to China you don't have
any travel bunch illegally for example
00:37:34
so people they're free to go but when they
come back in the state travel to certain
00:37:39
zones where the virus is very active then
they can be placed in crunching so you
00:37:44
have some voices in Europe especially
in France people think maybe we should
00:37:48
prevent people from traveling to these
instead of trying to create quarantines when
00:37:54
people come back that was journalist
Nicholas Pino in Paris speaking with the
00:37:59
always Cape Town Dawson. After 19 years of
00:38:03
a grueling conflict that has claimed the
lives of more than 100000 people the war
00:38:08
in Afghanistan may be finally coming
to an end so far all sides seem to be
00:38:13
respecting an agreement to reduce violence
partial truce that came into effect last
00:38:18
Saturday but as we always Aisha Tanzim
reports an initial political crisis has
00:38:23
threatened to derail the process the Sir
pull check post on the Kabul Kandahar
00:38:29
highway used to constantly be under attack
by the polygon since the start of the
00:38:35
partial truth the soldiers
guarding the post are breathing
00:38:39
a sigh of relief used to face relentless
attacks every day Every night we faced
00:38:45
immense difficulties now things are much
better the same is true for shopkeepers in
00:38:51
the Rani bazaar and word of that province
they've even increased their business I
00:38:57
used to close my shop at
5 pm Now that there is
00:39:00
a ceasefire I close my shop and 6 min ago
we have not heard any gunfire in the last
00:39:05
2 days after 19 years of war the United
States and the polygon agreed to
00:39:11
a week long partial truth at the end
of it if all goes well they will sign
00:39:17
a deal on the 29th of February and cut
there's capital Doha the deal outlines
00:39:23
a road map for the withdrawal of u.s.
00:39:26
Troops from Afghanistan one of President
Donald Trump's campaign promises it
00:39:33
also requires the Taliban to negotiate with
other Afghans including the government
00:39:38
on the future direction of their
country. In Washington u.s.
00:39:43
Secretary of state Mike palm pills said
Tuesday the goal is to reach an Afghani
00:39:49
solution and our mission set is very clear
we want to assist and provide structure
00:39:54
so that the Afghans can ultimately get an
outcome that is led by Afghanis driven by
00:40:00
Afghanis and is
00:40:00
a long term solution. That all the people
of Ghana stand can live with but the
00:40:05
other foreign government is in turmoil
following presidential elections in which 2
00:40:09
candidates incumbent
00:40:11
a show of plenty and rival of the left I
don't laugh have declared victory the
00:40:16
bitter standoff comes at
00:40:18
a time when I ask on politicians should
be building consensus on how do you
00:40:23
negotiate with the Taliban says analyst
Michael Cuscuna and yet at that very moment
00:40:28
when you most need that common united front
these longstanding divides within the
00:40:33
Afghan political class have been exacerbated
because of this political crisis
00:40:37
coming out of the election giving way yes
everyone factions to come together in one
00:40:42
week since the team to negotiate with the
polygon was already difficult observers
00:40:49
say this crisis has just added to
it I should than seem endeavor here
00:40:54
a new Islamic body have u.s.
00:40:57
Secretary of state Mike Pompei of this
week urged Iraqi prime minister designate
00:41:02
Mohamed Alawi to protect u.s.
00:41:05
Troops and stressed Iraq's obligation to
protect American and coalition diplomats
00:41:10
forces and facilities but pale also press
Iraq's new government to end violence
00:41:15
against the thousands of protesters who
have gathered in Baghdad and addressed
00:41:20
their grievances Iraqi
lawmakers have scheduled for
00:41:23
a vote of confidence to allow the government
scheduled for Thursday via ways Bahama
00:41:29
spoke with
00:41:30
a smile as low Dhani former Iraqi military
attache in Washington about the vote of
00:41:35
no confidence and the pressure the
government faces between anti-government
00:41:39
protesters who want foreign troops out and
its ally the United States actually what
00:41:45
the problem this request is
to remind that there's even
00:41:49
a through the prime minister of the
government so responsibilities and duties
00:41:53
towards the u.s.
00:41:56
Call the show horses as well as the
diplomatic missions in Iraq that you partner
00:42:01
government. Shell to deliver its obligations
as they have many times the clear that
00:42:07
there are obliged to protect the u.s.
00:42:09
And coalition forces cities as
00:42:11
a result of that the relation has been
critically intense due to the escalation
00:42:17
between the u.s.
00:42:18
And Iranian militias supported by Iran that
ended in exchanging the shelling and to
00:42:23
try to expand ultimately the Iraqi parliament
to demand from the prime minister to
00:42:29
remove the Us forces or from Iraq the
Us administration would like to turn
00:42:34
a new page with
00:42:35
a new government in order to restore the
comp aeration and the relation to normal
00:42:40
both governments value the importance of
keeping diplomatic military and economic
00:42:45
ties it's also essential for the u.s.
00:42:48
And Iraq government to maintain relations
at the highest level as there are many
00:42:53
common interests to be achieved in the
near terms and the future I think both
00:42:57
countries also are partners
in fighting ISIS the u.s.
00:43:01
Is a blitz to build and protect
democracy in Iraq and the u.s.
00:43:05
Is
00:43:05
a crucial player and building the capacity
of the Iraqi situation show I think this
00:43:10
is one of the conversations that set forth
has ignited prime minister from the u.s.
00:43:16
Administration so he would gain some kind
of support when he will be getting the
00:43:22
vote to assume the responsibility so
is Iraq people below on the ring this
00:43:28
obligation when angry pro Iran protesters
have been in the streets calling for u.s.
00:43:34
Troops withdrawal I think the
crowd who is calling for the u.s.
00:43:38
Forces withdrawal in the streets has been
multiple lies by the Shiite political
00:43:43
parties due to the recent
escalation between the u.s.
00:43:47
And Iran I think Iraqi government is not
entirely in control of the arm of the
00:43:52
groups that belong to the Shia parties
therefore some political parties are more
00:43:57
powerful than the government but I trust
the new government and the must explain. I
00:44:02
would consider the political channels to
understand the importance of the u.s.
00:44:07
Presence in Iraq to defeat ISIS and the
security forces can seize it all depends on
00:44:13
the new government at Realty to move
things forward and compromise the tension
00:44:18
around the Us forces
00:44:19
a presence in Iraq promptly also emphasized
the edge and see with which Iraq's new
00:44:24
government must put an end to the killing
of protesters and their grievances What
00:44:31
do you make of that the prime minister has
00:44:33
a speech to trust on bringing all in
killing the protesters to the justice to
00:44:39
independence and transparent investigation
so I think Secretary pump you should
00:44:45
trust think on the new government to hold
the protest killers accountable and bring
00:44:50
them to justice also to address the
grievances of the demonstrators I see this is
00:44:55
a statement as
00:44:56
a conversation also to designate prime
minister to accomplish so he may win the
00:45:02
u.s. Support and so he
can work with the u.s.
00:45:05
Administration to normalize the situation
in Iraq Iraqi lawmakers decided to
00:45:12
schedule
00:45:12
a vote of confidence for the government of
the lead we Thursday with the parliament
00:45:16
vote in favor apparently that has ignited
the prime minister trying to point things
00:45:22
nonpartisans and technocrat
cap and he is facing some
00:45:25
a positive from political parties but
people demanded the formation of the
00:45:30
political system by removing the secretary
and quota so any political party
00:45:37
would oppose this move puts the party in
the confrontation with the people 2nd Iraq
00:45:44
cannot tolerate more delays ultimately the
prime minister has to compromise with
00:45:49
the political parties before the confidence
vote which I think will be in favor of
00:45:55
passing the capital now is a smile hold on
00:45:58
a former Iraqi military
attache speaking do v.o.a.
00:46:01
. Senior Analyst Mohamed El
Shaarawy and later on the program
00:46:06
a senior South Sudanese official has
rejected criticism that his country is
00:46:11
a serious violator of human rights in
00:46:14
a speech to the un Human Rights Council the

studies have previously linked the
consumption of sugary drinks with increased
00:46:32
risks of death from a wide range of cars
00:46:35
a new study published in The Journal of
the American Heart Association provides
00:46:39
evidence that drinking around $355.00
millimeters of sugary drinks more than once
00:46:44
a day is connected to
00:46:45
a couple of factors that can contribute
to cardiovascular disease the study finds
00:46:50
that among middle aged to older adults
drinking sugar sweetened beverages can lower

Or good cholesterol which helps remove bad
cholesterol from the bloodstream while
00:47:00
increasing levels of triglycerides another
type of fat found in the blood the study

also shows that drinking calorie sweetened
beverages were up to $355.00 millimeters

Muslims. Below and now it's by Moody's

nationalist government makes it easier
for the non Muslims from neighboring
00:48:36
countries to gain Indian citizenship.
It has reignited longstanding tensions
00:48:42
between the country's Hindu and minority
Muslim groups. Find its coincide with u.s.

a temper if you wronged him he would beat
you up even my 2nd son those Nothing
00:50:10
major he had done maybe getting into little
fights here and there the deaths are
00:50:15
just 2 of hundreds of cases of police
killings that Kenyan rights groups have
00:50:19
documented this month of Kenyan rights
groups reported police last year alone
00:50:25
killed a $107.00 people most of them
young poor men shot to death at

when we say that nothing is changing and

we will not documented we acquiesce.
To these killings Prescott
00:50:53
accuse Kenya as an independent policy
oversight authority of not doing enough to
00:50:57
stop the killings I posses $142.00 cases
from last year are under investigation but
00:51:04
admits only 6 police officers have been
sent to the public prosecutor who says few
00:51:09
witnesses are willing to come forward no
to use can use their public prosecutions
00:51:16
we have community outreach and
00:51:19
a lot of these communities are being affected
by this problem and trying to assess

in terms of giving us evidence we are
00:51:29
trying to. Make them.
Understand their rights. To
00:51:36
access justice and how they can do about
this month for the 1st time I loved the

a Brittany executions Agnes Cullum I'd
she met to look to the police victims in

their o.b.
00:51:51
In Mumbai and she called on Kenyan authorities
to do more when I don't use killing
00:51:58
knowing best to get him there is no more
secure fashion and there is no justice
00:52:04
that's a 2nd killing and that killing is
00:52:07
a killing of our society. Impunity
he ups of signed letters of

victims hope the u.n.
00:52:15
Envoy to visit will help advance
that Wheels of Justice made

News that will be

a senior South Sudanese official has
rejected criticism that his country is
00:52:33
a serious violator of human rights these
are reports that in the speech the un
00:52:38
Human Rights Council the official said
facts prove the opposite to be true.
00:52:44
Director General for multilateral
affairs of South Sudan Samuel locked
00:52:48
a lot mincer praises the decisions and
compromises made by his government he says
00:52:54
this is enabled the formation of
00:52:56
a national unity government in the interest
of sustainable peace and stability he
00:53:02
says his government isn't forcing the
agreement by negotiating peace with the South
00:53:07
Sudan opposition alliance at the same time
he says peace talks taking place with
00:53:13
Sudan in the capital Juba are making progress
he says efforts to improve the human
00:53:19
rights situation in this country are moving
ahead and this he says belies the un
00:53:25
Council's depiction of South Sudan as the
worst country on Earth in terms of human
00:53:30
rights violations he says this is contrary
to the realities on the ground my
00:53:36
government would like to report it.
Has ruled that broad decisions and

a crime touching when dignity
is severely punished
00:53:59
a report published last week by the un
Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan
00:54:04
describes in detail what it calls the
widespread and pervasive sexual and gender
00:54:09
based violence in the country the report
accuses both the government and opposition
00:54:14
of deliberately starving the
population as a tactic of war the u.n.
00:54:19
Commission is scathing in its criticism of
the government which it says is riddled
00:54:24
with corruption the South Sudanese government
did not respond to the report at the
00:54:30
time of its release and during his address
to the council minutes also did not
00:54:35
acknowledge the report and its findings
Instead he continued to stress the positive
00:54:41
developments in improvements in the human
rights situation in this country he
00:54:46
called on the council to remove South
Sudan from Item 4 which looks into human
00:54:52
rights abuses in specific countries
reserved for those deemed to be the worst
00:54:57

News Geneva imagine how life could
change for so many people who need
00:55:17
a replacement organ if
scientists could just print
00:55:20
a new one that works that's exactly one
of the projects scientists at Wake Forest
00:55:25
Institute for Regenerative
Medicine are working on 3 d.
00:55:29
Bio printed human organs has a back
00:55:32
a let's has the story from Winston Salem
North Carolina in this report narrated by
00:55:38
Anna Rice we're printing an ear so a
patient had lost his left ear they took
00:55:44
a citizen can of his right ear and near.
It is so that we can $35.00 prints of
00:55:49
a new here attaching them is
still theoretical but these 3 d.
00:55:53
Printers can print
00:55:54
a workable human organs like this year
scientists here at the Wake Forest Institute
00:55:59
for generative medicine in North Carolina
are working towards the day when they can
00:56:04
print all kinds of replacement
organs it takes about 3 and
00:56:08
a half hours to create an ear
and it will be attached using
00:56:11
a special solution made from the patient's
cells when they get it to work it could
00:56:16
revolutionize the science of Borgen
transplants we basically categorize the
00:56:23
complexity of the organs from flat to solid.
With flat structure such as skin being
00:56:29
the least complex similar structures like
blood vessels being the 2nd level of
00:56:34
complexity how
00:56:35
a nontrivial are organised like the bladder
or the stomach being the 3rd level and
00:56:39
solid organs being by far the most complex
certainly. Donor shortage is very
00:56:46
serious you know there are so many
patients on the waitlist right now and
00:56:49
regenerative medicine is really
00:56:51
a strategy that hopefully
will help us to the Crees
00:56:55
a number of patients who are on that
transplant list the process begins when flying
00:57:00
to take
00:57:00
a small piece of tissue from the patient
the next step is to create the desired
00:57:05
shape or freend for the
tissue this is with 3 d.
00:57:08
Printers come into play and alongside
them the procedure known as
00:57:13
a look to spinning
00:57:14
a fiber production method which uses
electric force to create artificial blood
00:57:19
vessels these are elect for spinners
and the way that it works is
00:57:26
we have a solution of bio material
00:57:32
a certain type of all of our. In
00:57:35
a syringe that's being very slowly
pushed out with a syringe pump we have
00:57:41
a rod here that goes through.
This apparatus over here and it
00:57:47
rotates and moves back and forth and
the idea is that the solution is
00:57:54
deposited on to the rod and it can form
00:57:57
a to find this test the artificial
blood vessel by imitating
00:58:02
a post we put inside
00:58:04
a bioreactor So what we've done is we've
taken the blood vessel right here we've
00:58:09
hooked it up to the bio
reactor which is attached to
00:58:13
a pump and it's basically pulsing flow
back and forth through the blood vessel to
00:58:20
emulate the beating of the heart. And so
you can see if you look closely the blood
00:58:25
vessel is opening and
closing things to 3 d.
00:58:28
Bio printing fine interests can create
more complex human organs as well they're
00:58:33
used in this so-called organ on
00:58:35
a chip or technology this 5
centimeter panel is a tiny model of
00:58:42
a human body each chamber. Things tissues
from various organs such models are
00:58:47
mostly used for testing drugs for unknown
side effects and even hold all effect
00:58:52
each patient individually in
00:58:55
a near future I'll say what is going to
happen is you're going to come to the
00:58:59
hospital they're going to take
00:59:00
a small summer from your skin and as that
as the doctor is making your diagnosis on
00:59:05
your on your prognosis and everything
00:59:08
a large group is going to be building
20 to 40 versions of you of chips. Fine
00:59:15
disconsolate how long clinical trials are
going to take exactly but they hope that
00:59:20
in some 30 to 40 years then eventually it
will be regular part of people's everyday
00:59:26

Embassy statement calling on the electoral

all polling stations particularly those
being contested by the opposition so as to
00:07:01
and short transparency in

a statement why. Vidia embassy
congratulated Italy's people for

commission declared president for

00:07:15
spokesperson for opposition coalition County
the Kojo says the Us embassy statement
00:07:21
is good news because the opposition has
been demanding for results of all polling
00:07:25
stations to be published facts they
congratulated people vote they said
00:07:32
everybody went to vote painfully and
then they were printed from and
00:07:38
to ensure that the results have
already been published and
00:07:46
that's not contested by our job our country
did they are asking the government to
00:07:52
ensure that those results they
are. Each police station to ensure
00:07:58
transparency Finally Jim they regret
the fact that some feel so sorry
00:08:05
for the groups we chop
00:08:07
a lot of the variation of the elections
have been denied to be trying to
00:08:14
serve the cause of them and they
didn't send them that these groups are
00:08:21
supported by the n.t.s.b.
00:08:23
And then the government discovered
that the group supported by and and
00:08:30
said we do not give you the right
to observe them and this statement
00:08:36
regrets the physician from the gov
man whether some in our party this
00:08:43
statement it's quite good news for others
because our country did agree with me
00:08:50
had asked before for this
publication of the results for each
00:08:56
polling station in view of transparency
Yeah sure that the results.
00:09:03
That have been published today they go
to they don't come from we've worked
00:09:10
we have and according to what we've come
to our country that is the rhythm of the
00:09:16
election and we can see that that is the
elected president of cocoa do you think
00:09:23
the government is going
to do what the u.s.
00:09:24
Embassies are asking for and what if the
government doesn't because the government
00:09:28
set the precedent for not simply
one day Lexa by 72 percent each
00:09:33
a lie they come needs on winning the
election in Egypt 2 percent because
00:09:40
in large majority of the goalie's people
do not want for this government again we
00:09:47
want them to leave to power so they can't
vote for him and if the government
00:09:54
knows that what he published
is to talk to these events by
00:10:00
conforming to the recommendation to come
back it's very simply they said they want
00:10:06
to make it known that what they feared
is the truth now and they have melted
00:10:13
publish in detail the results and
everybody will see. Brigette is the
00:10:20
spokesperson for totally
civilization coalition candidate
00:10:23
a biomedical jewel she was speaking with
us from the capital loamy in Malawi the
00:10:28
leader of the opposition united
transformation movement u.t.m.
00:10:31
Party. Says he is willing to enter into an
alliance with anyone as long he and that
00:10:37
person a common colas This comes
00:10:41
a day after President Peter Reka and his
ruling progressive Democratic Party d.p.p.
00:10:47
Enter into an alliance with the United
Democratic Front if you do you have party
00:10:52
for the May 90 constitutional court ordered
presidential election there have been
00:10:57
room it's not the u.t.m.
00:10:58
And Congress party of last row Chuck
queerer have been holding talks for
00:11:03
a possible alliance u.t.m.
Spokesperson. Says the u.t.m.
00:11:09
Has formed it tough for us to engage the
mob with Congress party our president has
00:11:14
made it very clear that we need to listen
to the views of the people I think the
00:11:19
people out there in white will do
reconsider this but I think before we make
00:11:23
a decision we need to have
00:11:25
a far understanding of what he had alive
and then I would say when we need to
00:11:31
understand so that's why
we have formed a team like
00:11:36
a task force from our side that will change
our God the party in the well Congress
00:11:42
party to begin talking so how soon how
much time do you have before the people of
00:11:48
Malawi know that yes there's going to be
this alliance within my time considering
00:11:53
Betty I made it very very relieved
that for the Poles and the row we have
00:12:00
60 days before that for campaign which
means cabinet going to start on 28 is of
00:12:06
mites so we have like 2 from now so before
or during the period to go up that also
00:12:11
all the things that were given about how
to finalize before ready to write about.
00:12:18
I saw an article where
the president. He made
00:12:22
a comment to say he is going to
we now more than 50 plus one.
00:12:30
Is entitled to his opinion but I think he's
out of this place and I mean why did he
00:12:35
really has to press one of these folks
is election as. It is to. Say if any
00:12:42
that has anything to go 'd so how governor
is going to get this time. The person
00:12:48
that has to go to $200.00 in the hole
if you put I'm not going to believe in
00:12:55
40 percent are you talking to people in
and departed I have long used Yes his
00:13:02
theory. About 200000 votes
or 200004000 roughly or me.
00:13:10
There is no way they can get the 50 plus
ones one thing that I think has led to
00:13:15
downfall of coalition building Africa
has been the ability of one party to
00:13:22
give way to the other it
seems odd that whenever
00:13:24
a coalition be mentioned something one
of the parties want to insist to be
00:13:29
president edicts case do you think your
leader Mr to limit and tell Mr Quayle raw
00:13:35
can they reach
00:13:36
a compromise in terms of what can be on top
of the ticket that we all know that we
00:13:41
need that one of the issues that really it
is Elias is to not working the way that
00:13:46
I was to be but I think as you did what
we have said before we even start sharing
00:13:51
positions because this is such
00:13:53
a terrible position then you're going to
miss the whole point of what we're saying
00:13:56
is. Just what I was raised and find that
what is it that people want us to do if we
00:14:03
exhaust those issues really the issue is
over who's going to be number one who's
00:14:08
going to be number 2 I don't think that's
one of the issues. Just have to Dante
00:14:13
Malone guy is the spokesperson for the
United transformation movement party it led
00:14:18
by Vice President solace tell him you are
speaking with us from the capital long

Bashir on trial of the i.c.c.
00:16:09
Would bring some comfort to families like

issue justice and also build confidence

between the warring groups in peace talks

For rather would have worked. I
00:17:10
would love if there was any accusations
against the former president he say's the

they're not on parts of their country

downplayed in the mission of the fact

a corona virus logged on to remote says she
and other Zimbabweans in China I appeal
00:25:48
into the Harare government for financial
assistance to buy food and other basic
00:25:54
necessities. The situation I
can say is really tough in
00:26:00
one not only as the students but for
also our fellows in Dublin who have been
00:26:06
working here in one they've been working
for themselves so that they can cater for
00:26:10
their food stuff and some other things but
you find out that now it's difficult for
00:26:16
them they're not waking they're not doing
anything and it's really difficult for
00:26:21
them to make ends meet it's really difficult
for them to get money to buy some food
00:26:26
stuffs and also food is now expensive
tickets through your day to day activities
00:26:32
What do you do daily since the
column of a that's was announced
00:26:37
a pandemic and also are you now allowed to
move freely and not even allowed to move
00:26:43
always in those isn't every day I woke
up. And them just in don't I don't go
00:26:49
anywhere the only thing I can do is to
be in here and you know because of this
00:26:55
situation you end up panicking you know and
it's so that the only thing you can do
00:27:01
is to just say he knows nothing else at the
moment how are the other 4 in that from
00:27:07
other African countries holding up how many
Zimbabweans would use the idea for the
00:27:13
remote when I can say maybe roughly 350
to 400 contending some other people
00:27:20
from some other countries I can say the
situation is just the same for us all but
00:27:26
for some other countries you can see
that they're receiving help from their
00:27:30
government and from maybe their fellow
countrymen I can think so if they have
00:27:37
such kind of help I can say we really
thank God for them because it's really
00:27:42
helpful but when it comes to
00:27:44
a situation like at the Zimbabweans you
can see that things are very talented
00:27:49
because right now I'm just surviving
receiving money from home and it was good
00:27:56
before it was. Good because before things
were really cheap like food but now you
00:28:02
find that food stuffs are very very expensive
so like it's really good if we can
00:28:09
really have help made from the government
or from some other fellow's mumblings.

for consumers from a sequence of
00:32:43
a virus to
00:32:44
a trial it still would not be any applicable
to the epidemic. Unless we really
00:32:51
wait about a year to a year and
00:32:53
a half now that means 2 things one the
answer to containing is public health
00:33:00
measures we can't be law in a vaccine
over the next several months to
00:33:04
a year however if this virus which we
have every reason to believe it is quite
00:33:10
conceivable that it will
happen will go beyond just
00:33:14
a season and come back and recycle next
year if that's the case we hope to have
00:33:19
a vaccine us President Donald Trump spoke
Wednesday evening naming vice president
00:33:24
Mike Pence as the point person in his
administration for the covert 1000 outbreak
00:33:29
He also reiterated that far more people
die annually of the flu than have the of
00:33:34
the coronavirus thus far the Center for
Disease Control interventions and shook it
00:33:39
said the best way to guard against the
covert 19 is the same way one does against
00:33:44
the flu covering your cough. Staying
home when you're sick and washing your
00:33:50
hands. Tried and True not very
exciting measures but really important
00:33:57
ways that you can prevent the spread of
respiratory viruses and South Korea the
00:34:04
United States and the Republic of Korea the
South official name announced Thursday
00:34:09
they would postpone upcoming joint military
exercises until further notice do the
00:34:13
Cove in $1000.00 outbreak
00:34:15
a statement announcing the decision said
it was not made lightly and that their
00:34:19
alliance remains ironclad as
00:34:22
a novel coronavirus continues to spread
beyond China health officials in Europe are
00:34:26
ramping up efforts to contain the virus
and care for patients the European Union
00:34:30
Health Minister Stella cure Akitas and the
World Health Organization officials met
00:34:35
Wednesday with the Taliban officials in
Rome to discuss the outbreak in Italy the
00:34:39
worst so far in Europe earlier my
colleague Cape Town Dawson spoke with
00:34:43
a reporter Nicholas Benaud who's been
following the operate from Paris Well the
00:34:48
latest news from Iran. When the 2nd
person died last night and the most
00:34:55
concerning thing about this
patient who died is that he's
00:34:58
a patient is 60 he was 60 years old and
he did not travel to any zone that's
00:35:05
concerned by the virus did not travel
to China I did met Savile too easily so
00:35:10
French authorities they're trying to see
where he got contaminated and there's also
00:35:16
another patient he is stating is pretty
critical as of right now and again he did
00:35:21
not travel either to
00:35:24
a specific zone that was also
targeted by the virus Also today
00:35:29
a new route to Greece mention
his 1st Karimov iris a k.
00:35:34
And also we have at this now 12 deaths in
either league which is right now the most
00:35:41
concerning for you Rob. Now European
health ministers and other government
00:35:47
officials have been meeting in talking in
the past few days about the virus What
00:35:53
are they talking about what are they
saying you're right they met this week you
00:35:58
need only to try to see the level of threat
posing by these virus and it's really
00:36:05
it's interesting to note is that the
European Commission of full health and food
00:36:08
safety they like your kid is
she is this when they She's in
00:36:12
a room talking we've the health minister
to try to see you what's the situation
00:36:19
right now and she tweeted this Wednesday
that she has requested member states of
00:36:24
the European Union to review their
preparedness plans and help give capacity and
00:36:30
according to her it is crucial that they
all inform people about the level of
00:36:34
preparedness and it's key to mutual
security and we're getting hold of border.
00:36:41
European Union's right now they're not
going to close anything but people are
00:36:45
starting to being scared and there
it comes as of today you have
00:36:49
a big soccer game in yelling
French Roosters 3 No o.c.d.
00:36:55
In that you know young
people they don't want
00:36:56
a sense of you're going to have 3000 fans
traveling from you know elite and they
00:37:01
come from is fishery where there's
00:37:03
a virus so people are quite some sense
about what to do if they need to wear
00:37:07
a mask to be quarantined I'm not and the
people in Europe to trying to say that
00:37:12
they do not get the right information
about the virus so the concern with the
00:37:17
public is that they don't feel that they're
getting enough information from the
00:37:23
e.u.
00:37:23
Health experts. Exactly and also something
that's been mentioned right now you don't
00:37:29
have any travel ban to China you don't have
any travel bunch illegally for example
00:37:34
so people they're free to go but when they
come back in the state travel to certain
00:37:39
zones where the virus is very active then
they can be placed in crunching so you
00:37:44
have some voices in Europe especially
in France people think maybe we should
00:37:48
prevent people from traveling to these
instead of trying to create quarantines when
00:37:54
people come back that was journalist
Nicholas Pino in Paris speaking with the
00:37:59
always Cape Town Dawson. After 19 years of
00:38:03
a grueling conflict that has claimed the
lives of more than 100000 people the war
00:38:08
in Afghanistan may be finally coming
to an end so far all sides seem to be
00:38:13
respecting an agreement to reduce violence
partial truce that came into effect last
00:38:18
Saturday but as we always Aisha Tanzim
reports an initial political crisis has
00:38:23
threatened to derail the process the Sir
pull check post on the Kabul Kandahar
00:38:29
highway used to constantly be under attack
by the polygon since the start of the
00:38:35
partial truth the soldiers
guarding the post are breathing
00:38:39
a sigh of relief used to face relentless
attacks every day Every night we faced
00:38:45
immense difficulties now things are much
better the same is true for shopkeepers in
00:38:51
the Rani bazaar and word of that province
they've even increased their business I
00:38:57
used to close my shop at
5 pm Now that there is
00:39:00
a ceasefire I close my shop and 6 min ago
we have not heard any gunfire in the last
00:39:05
2 days after 19 years of war the United
States and the polygon agreed to
00:39:11
a week long partial truth at the end
of it if all goes well they will sign
00:39:17
a deal on the 29th of February and cut
there's capital Doha the deal outlines
00:39:23
a road map for the withdrawal of u.s.
00:39:26
Troops from Afghanistan one of President
Donald Trump's campaign promises it
00:39:33
also requires the Taliban to negotiate with
other Afghans including the government
00:39:38
on the future direction of their
country. In Washington u.s.
00:39:43
Secretary of state Mike palm pills said
Tuesday the goal is to reach an Afghani
00:39:49
solution and our mission set is very clear
we want to assist and provide structure
00:39:54
so that the Afghans can ultimately get an
outcome that is led by Afghanis driven by
00:40:00
Afghanis and is
00:40:00
a long term solution. That all the people
of Ghana stand can live with but the
00:40:05
other foreign government is in turmoil
following presidential elections in which 2
00:40:09
candidates incumbent
00:40:11
a show of plenty and rival of the left I
don't laugh have declared victory the
00:40:16
bitter standoff comes at
00:40:18
a time when I ask on politicians should
be building consensus on how do you
00:40:23
negotiate with the Taliban says analyst
Michael Cuscuna and yet at that very moment
00:40:28
when you most need that common united front
these longstanding divides within the
00:40:33
Afghan political class have been exacerbated
because of this political crisis
00:40:37
coming out of the election giving way yes
everyone factions to come together in one
00:40:42
week since the team to negotiate with the
polygon was already difficult observers
00:40:49
say this crisis has just added to
it I should than seem endeavor here
00:40:54
a new Islamic body have u.s.
00:40:57
Secretary of state Mike Pompei of this
week urged Iraqi prime minister designate
00:41:02
Mohamed Alawi to protect u.s.
00:41:05
Troops and stressed Iraq's obligation to
protect American and coalition diplomats
00:41:10
forces and facilities but pale also press
Iraq's new government to end violence
00:41:15
against the thousands of protesters who
have gathered in Baghdad and addressed
00:41:20
their grievances Iraqi
lawmakers have scheduled for
00:41:23
a vote of confidence to allow the government
scheduled for Thursday via ways Bahama
00:41:29
spoke with
00:41:30
a smile as low Dhani former Iraqi military
attache in Washington about the vote of
00:41:35
no confidence and the pressure the
government faces between anti-government
00:41:39
protesters who want foreign troops out and
its ally the United States actually what
00:41:45
the problem this request is
to remind that there's even
00:41:49
a through the prime minister of the
government so responsibilities and duties
00:41:53
towards the u.s.
00:41:56
Call the show horses as well as the
diplomatic missions in Iraq that you partner
00:42:01
government. Shell to deliver its obligations
as they have many times the clear that
00:42:07
there are obliged to protect the u.s.
00:42:09
And coalition forces cities as
00:42:11
a result of that the relation has been
critically intense due to the escalation
00:42:17
between the u.s.
00:42:18
And Iranian militias supported by Iran that
ended in exchanging the shelling and to
00:42:23
try to expand ultimately the Iraqi parliament
to demand from the prime minister to
00:42:29
remove the Us forces or from Iraq the
Us administration would like to turn
00:42:34
a new page with
00:42:35
a new government in order to restore the
comp aeration and the relation to normal
00:42:40
both governments value the importance of
keeping diplomatic military and economic
00:42:45
ties it's also essential for the u.s.
00:42:48
And Iraq government to maintain relations
at the highest level as there are many
00:42:53
common interests to be achieved in the
near terms and the future I think both
00:42:57
countries also are partners
in fighting ISIS the u.s.
00:43:01
Is a blitz to build and protect
democracy in Iraq and the u.s.
00:43:05
Is
00:43:05
a crucial player and building the capacity
of the Iraqi situation show I think this
00:43:10
is one of the conversations that set forth
has ignited prime minister from the u.s.
00:43:16
Administration so he would gain some kind
of support when he will be getting the
00:43:22
vote to assume the responsibility so
is Iraq people below on the ring this
00:43:28
obligation when angry pro Iran protesters
have been in the streets calling for u.s.
00:43:34
Troops withdrawal I think the
crowd who is calling for the u.s.
00:43:38
Forces withdrawal in the streets has been
multiple lies by the Shiite political
00:43:43
parties due to the recent
escalation between the u.s.
00:43:47
And Iran I think Iraqi government is not
entirely in control of the arm of the
00:43:52
groups that belong to the Shia parties
therefore some political parties are more
00:43:57
powerful than the government but I trust
the new government and the must explain. I
00:44:02
would consider the political channels to
understand the importance of the u.s.
00:44:07
Presence in Iraq to defeat ISIS and the
security forces can seize it all depends on
00:44:13
the new government at Realty to move
things forward and compromise the tension
00:44:18
around the Us forces
00:44:19
a presence in Iraq promptly also emphasized
the edge and see with which Iraq's new
00:44:24
government must put an end to the killing
of protesters and their grievances What
00:44:31
do you make of that the prime minister has
00:44:33
a speech to trust on bringing all in
killing the protesters to the justice to
00:44:39
independence and transparent investigation
so I think Secretary pump you should
00:44:45
trust think on the new government to hold
the protest killers accountable and bring
00:44:50
them to justice also to address the
grievances of the demonstrators I see this is
00:44:55
a statement as
00:44:56
a conversation also to designate prime
minister to accomplish so he may win the
00:45:02
u.s. Support and so he
can work with the u.s.
00:45:05
Administration to normalize the situation
in Iraq Iraqi lawmakers decided to
00:45:12
schedule
00:45:12
a vote of confidence for the government of
the lead we Thursday with the parliament
00:45:16
vote in favor apparently that has ignited
the prime minister trying to point things
00:45:22
nonpartisans and technocrat
cap and he is facing some
00:45:25
a positive from political parties but
people demanded the formation of the
00:45:30
political system by removing the secretary
and quota so any political party
00:45:37
would oppose this move puts the party in
the confrontation with the people 2nd Iraq
00:45:44
cannot tolerate more delays ultimately the
prime minister has to compromise with
00:45:49
the political parties before the confidence
vote which I think will be in favor of
00:45:55
passing the capital now is a smile hold on
00:45:58
a former Iraqi military
attache speaking do v.o.a.
00:46:01
. Senior Analyst Mohamed El
Shaarawy and later on the program
00:46:06
a senior South Sudanese official has
rejected criticism that his country is

00:46:19
to be true you're listening to v.o.a.
00:46:22
News. This is. A number of
00:46:28
studies have previously linked the
consumption of sugary drinks with increased
00:46:32
risks of death from a wide range of cars
00:46:35
a new study published in The Journal of
the American Heart Association provides
00:46:39
evidence that drinking around $355.00
millimeters of sugary drinks more than once
00:46:44
a day is connected to
00:46:45
a couple of factors that can contribute
to cardiovascular disease the study finds
00:46:50
that among middle aged to older adults
drinking sugar sweetened beverages can lower
00:46:54
levels of h.d.l.
00:46:56
Or good cholesterol which helps remove bad
cholesterol from the bloodstream while
00:47:00
increasing levels of triglycerides another
type of fat found in the blood the study
00:47:05
also shows that drinking calorie sweetened
beverages were up to $355.00 millimeters
00:47:10
of 100 percent fruit juice every day it
wasn't associated with increased risks or
00:47:15

00:50:10
major he had done maybe getting into little
fights here and there the deaths are
00:50:15
just 2 of hundreds of cases of police

International Kenya when we stop recognize.

These these these extrajudicial killings
when we say that nothing is changing and
00:50:46
we will not documented we acquiesce.
To these killings Prescott
00:50:53
accuse Kenya as an independent policy
oversight authority of not doing enough to
00:50:57
stop the killings I posses $142.00 cases
from last year are under investigation but
00:51:04
admits only 6 police officers have been
sent to the public prosecutor who says few
00:51:09
witnesses are willing to come forward no
to use can use their public prosecutions
00:51:16
we have community outreach and
00:51:19
a lot of these communities are being affected
by this problem and trying to assess
00:51:23
. I'm trying to ask them to be more bold
in terms of giving us evidence we are
00:51:29
trying to. Make them.
Understand their rights. To
00:51:36
access justice and how they can do about
this month for the 1st time I loved the

a Brittany executions Agnes Cullum I'd
she met to look to the police victims in

their o.b.
00:51:51
In Mumbai and she called on Kenyan authorities
to do more when I don't use killing
00:51:58
knowing best to get him there is no more
secure fashion and there is no justice
00:52:04
that's a 2nd killing and that killing is
00:52:07
a killing of our society. Impunity
he ups of signed letters of
00:52:14
victims hope the u.n.
00:52:15
Envoy to visit will help advance
that Wheels of Justice made
00:52:19
a way couldn't actively say they'll keep
documented in publishing police killings
00:52:24
until they no longer have to do
so right on board for v.o.a.

00:55:25
Institute for Regenerative
Medicine are working on 3 d.
00:55:29
Bio printed human organs has a back
00:55:32
a let's has the story from Winston Salem
North Carolina in this report narrated by
00:55:38
Anna Rice we're printing an ear so a
patient had lost his left ear they took
00:55:44
a citizen can of his right ear and near.
It is so that we can $35.00 prints of
00:55:49
a new here attaching them is
still theoretical but these 3 d.
00:55:53
Printers can print
00:55:54
a workable human organs like this year
scientists here at the Wake Forest Institute
00:55:59
for generative medicine in North Carolina
are working towards the day when they can
00:56:04
print all kinds of replacement
organs it takes about 3 and
00:56:08
a half hours to create an ear
and it will be attached using
00:56:11
a special solution made from the patient's
cells when they get it to work it could
00:56:16
revolutionize the science of Borgen
transplants we basically categorize the
00:56:23
complexity of the organs from flat to solid.
With flat structure such as skin being
00:56:29
the least complex similar structures like
blood vessels being the 2nd level of
00:56:34
complexity how
00:56:35
a nontrivial are organised like the bladder
or the stomach being the 3rd level and
00:56:39
solid organs being by far the most complex
certainly. Donor shortage is very
00:56:46
serious you know there are so many
patients on the waitlist right now and
00:56:49
regenerative medicine is really
00:56:51
a strategy that hopefully
will help us to the Crees
00:56:55
a number of patients who are on that
transplant list the process begins when flying
00:57:00
to take
00:57:00
a small piece of tissue from the patient
the next step is to create the desired
00:57:05
shape or freend for the
tissue this is with 3 d.
00:57:08
Printers come into play and alongside
them the procedure known as
00:57:13
a look to spinning
00:57:14
a fiber production method which uses
electric force to create artificial blood
00:57:19
vessels these are elect for spinners
and the way that it works is
00:57:26
we have a solution of bio material
00:57:32
a certain type of all of our. In
00:57:35
a syringe that's being very slowly
pushed out with a syringe pump we have
00:57:41
a rod here that goes through.
This apparatus over here and it
00:57:47
rotates and moves back and forth and
the idea is that the solution is
00:57:54
deposited on to the rod and it can form
00:57:57
a to find this test the artificial
blood vessel by imitating
00:58:02
a post we put inside
00:58:04
a bioreactor So what we've done is we've
taken the blood vessel right here we've
00:58:09
hooked it up to the bio
reactor which is attached to
00:58:13
a pump and it's basically pulsing flow
back and forth through the blood vessel to
00:58:20
emulate the beating of the heart. And so
you can see if you look closely the blood
00:58:25
vessel is opening and
closing things to 3 d.
00:58:28
Bio printing fine interests can create
more complex human organs as well they're
00:58:33
used in this so-called organ on
00:58:35
a chip or technology this 5
centimeter panel is a tiny model of
00:58:42
a human body each chamber. Things tissues
from various organs such models are
00:58:47
mostly used for testing drugs for unknown
side effects and even hold all effect
00:58:52
each patient individually in
00:58:55
a near future I'll say what is going to
happen is you're going to come to the
00:58:59
hospital they're going to take
00:59:00
a small summer from your skin and as that
as the doctor is making your diagnosis on
00:59:05
your on your prognosis and everything
00:59:08
a large group is going to be building
20 to 40 versions of you of chips. Fine
00:59:15
disconsolate how long clinical trials are
going to take exactly but they hope that
00:59:20
in some 30 to 40 years then eventually it
will be regular part of people's everyday
00:59:26
life. In Winston Salem North Carolina and
all right news and that's going to do it
00:59:32
for us today you've been listening to
international edition on The Voice of America
00:59:38
on behalf of our director Tracy Carter and
engineer Kelvin Fowler thank you very
00:59:43
much for listening Be sure to visit our

a day be away News dot com Until next
time I'm Steve Miller in Washington have
00:59:56
a great day.
01:00:06
This is video we News I'm Jim bird tails
South Korea and China are each reporting
01:00:11
hundreds more virus cases Thursday as the
new illness persists in the worst hit
01:00:16
areas and spreads beyond
borders in Washington u.s.
01:00:20
President Donald Trump says his administration
is ready for the virus whether many
01:00:25
or only
01:00:25
a few people are infected but we're very
very ready for this for anything whether
01:00:30
it's going to be
01:00:31
a breakout of larger proportions or whether
or not where you know we're at that
01:00:38
very low level Mr Trump put Vice President
Mike Pence in charge of handling the
01:00:43
administration's response to the Myra's
Pence's all the resources available will be
01:00:49
used to protect the American public my
role will be to continue to do what I.
